I really felt for you on this one mate, I had a similar problem on an LDV Maxus engine I rebuilt for a friend at home in my driveway, the engine had seized on him, so offered to do the work as a favour for him because he could not afford a new van, from the offset, it was a pig of a job, the injectors were seized solid in the engine, took about a week of fettling with them until I managed to get them out, the cam carrier and inlet manifold are an all in 1 piece and matched to the head so did not want to cause any damage when removing the seized injectors, the head could not come off until the injectors were out either, the cheapest thing was to sacrifice the injectors to save the engine! Once the engine was rebuilt and back in, it started once but then would not restart, had me scratching my head for a while until I discovered that I had slightly bent one of the teeth on the crank shaft tone ring at some point during the rebuild procedure, once u found this and put it right, the engine didn't skip a beat. With your problem on the tone ring, there would have been no realistic way for you to know it was 2mm out of center, not unless you've come across this issue before, but going forward, I bet you'd probably check this with a gauge for center during the rebuild process, I know I would now, it's something I wouldn't have done, but definitely would now 😉 I Think you done great to adapt and overcome on this one, and even better the fact you showed the world the mistake, not many people would, at least it can help other people become wiser. Good job mate, well done!
Thank you very much Phil, when they go wrong they really go wrong. I’m also with you on the aftermarket part’s you spoke about in another comment, I do prefer OE but it isn’t always possible due to whatever restraints are there. Well done by the way on the LDV, sounds like a bit of a challenge too 😂😂😂😂 Thanks mate 🙏🙏👍
Omg...what a total nightmare. On the plus side this is the best car repair channel out there...Great editing, drama, insight and always a gutsy ending. There should be Oscar nominations for you👍👍👍🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵❤️❤️❤️ Category Pure Hardship
Learning to stay away from Mazdas 😂😂😂 Only joking, I get a challenge like around once a month & I don’t mind them but they do play havoc with time schedules. Which can be a right pain 😤😤
Much respect Peter for the jobs you take on. Most of us in the trade now are much more gunshy. I love your never give in attitude. I always use the old Plastigauge when fitting new bearings as a double check of journal to bearing clearance, because as you know when she starts and there is an issue, pulling it down again is a real pain. Keep the cartoons coming, never miss one!
I’m not very familiar with this kinda work, only done it 25 years ago in FAS ( training college ) And I’ll have to CZcams Plastigauge now to see what it is 😬😂😂😂 Did you ever hear the story about the 2 mice that fell in a jar of milk???
Aww man Pete I feel you’re pain so bad it’s hurting my heart watching a legendary technician go through this I’ve not managed to watch it all yet I’ll get back to I’m sick of just looking at it never mind working on it I’m not joking when I say this you really have to be up there with the worlds best so determined I’ve had things like this happen to me a few times and it always hits me in the gut and gets me thinking and feeling like I’m not quite as good as I think it’s so hard but we’ll done to you
I don’t mind this stuff at all, as forest gump said ‘ Shit happens’ 🙂 But you are absolutely right about that feeling when things go wrong, I would be thinking I’m not able for this job at all 🤷🏼♂️😂😂😂😂 All well that ends well, cheers David 🙏
Brilliant stuff Peter,as the saying goes up here "the only time you were beat you weren't there😁"problem solving at its finest the whole way through,well done sir👏👏
I think I’m only a sucker for hardship Richard, we had done a lot of top end work to this engine & I was going to lose an arm & leg if I had to buy a replacement engine. So might not be the best decision but all I could kinda do in the position 😬😬👍
Peter a mighty video. Isn’t it always a gamble on aftermarket..even things like brake pads sometimes needs a little grinding to get them to fit as they should. As you said working on cars is a challenge and no two are the same…Watching your video I’ve learned so much (even though I’m on my second 2.2 Skyactiv rebuild …. two different engines 😂😂) and I remember almost thinking I had to loosen that from the crankshaft…but it was on seriously tight so I didn’t bother.. What a failure in manufacturing to have those fixing positions off centre…When I worked in industry I recall making items and although they were out of spec for one customer they were in spec for another, so perhaps the same applies to OEM vs Unbranded aftermarket..it was destined for Mazda but fell short of their standards…I think it was worth the risk - 1k of a difference is a lot but then for you running a business the man hours piled up on this one. How many would have found the issue and applied a fix..I’d guess none other than yourself! Thank you for sharing and also for the natural and unedited conclusion of the quality of the crankshaft 😂👍🏻👏🏻
That is a very interesting thought Damien, that it might not be good enough for Mazda 🤔🤔🤔 And you are bang on when you say that the hours did stack up. If I had an OE Crank it would have been running 2 days earlier 😬😬 But no point crying over spilt milk, just keep on going until it drives out the gate 🤣🤣 Excellent comment, thanks mate 🙏🙏
Fair play for your transparent honesty. We all like to try to give the customer good value on a repair, but just sometimes they bite ya! These 2.2D's are case in point. 1.0 Ecoboost is another either fit a brand new genuine unit, or dont work on it.
I’m of similar mind set but this engine had a lot of top end work done in my place & never went out, which backed me into a corner & I was trying to not lose too much on it. Silly me 🤷🏼♂️😂😂😂
I had work done by Peter, and I have to say, very happy with the whole process, great to deal with, explains everything, videos etc....HIGHLY recommend him. BUT the ONLY issue is the location, I wish you were closer!! 🙂 It's hard to find good mechanics, and when I do there too far away!!!! Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you very much Shane, I really appreciate that 🙏🙏 I hope the car is running well & the distance is surely a small price to pay to meet such nice people 😬😂😂😂
This one was a bit of a challenge but I seem to get one of these every month or two 😬😬😬 But if I didn’t get a challenge I wouldn’t have any videos 😂😂😬👍
another great vlog peter, and yeah happenes everyone, be it oversight, or the other ads fault or just bad luck but dont know anyones not been there.. this week alone had a dirty second hand engine hahahaha to fit in a v40, d2 volvo, guy arrived with a straight drop in unit complete with harness, only turns out we had to then remove it to change the aircon pump, well not the pump the bracket ... which also holds the dpf which is front mounted unit.. so after fitting it twice, then had to change the harness as the main multi plug beside ecu is different (2nd hand engine was a ford smax in its first life)... thats this week, there have been many others hahahahaha.....
Well fair play to you Lar, I simply don’t think this kinda stuff can be avoided all the time. We can try our best but it still comes to bite us 🤷🏼♂️😂😂😂 Thanks mate 🙏🙏👍
Once they are minded right they aren’t too bad but yes you are probably right, my father used to say a good run is better than a bad stand, ie. run away 😂😂😂👍
This was very entertaining, like seeing myself trying to resolve problems that could be resolved by buying OEM parts 😅 In my next adventure I'll be trying out Chinese turbo chra from eBay lol
Aftermarket bits are never worth the hardship. We buy these bits in order to save the owner money but really it only makes our life harder 😬🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I feel your pain peter i really do. Worse 1 i can think of was when i fitted a customer supply 2nd hand engine. It was scrap and smoked and rattling. Had 3 way bun fight between me supposedly not fitted it correctly, the breaker not wanting to get involved and the owner not wanting to pay. Ended up buying car off him as was in my way and sold it on at a small loss. My days of getting that deep into a customer car ended right there.
A very wise move Chris, isn’t it awful though that you fitted an engine supplied buy the owner & then you had to have money to buy it, due to no fault of you own 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ This wouldn’t happen in any other business. But yes, I was in a similar position had done previous work on this engine and couldn’t charge in the current state, so chose this path ( whether right or wrong ). Wasn’t easy but it ran in the end and is back with the customer 6 or 7 weeks now 🤞🤞
@Kennedy’s garage yep lesson learned. Not much room in my twilight years for doing customer favours. If I can see there is risk involved I rather turn the job down and fill the slot easy with brakes and mot work etc
Hi, I am working on a 2013 Mazda 6 2.2. I have replaced the exhaust camshaft as it was worn, also the rocker arms and the tappets on the exhaust side. Put new valve cover seal with oval injector oil seals, also replaced injector washers. The problem is that the car has rough idle, but no fault codes initially. So I have checked the injector correction values and the learned values as well. 3 out of 4 correction values are around 7 and the last one is -7. Also the learned values are all 0 except the last MPA setting for them which is on -4. So I have reset the learned values, tried to perform the adaptation (jump the pin to the ground 5x quickly). as I don't have forscan yet. It starts it, but then aborts and the glow plug light flashes and the check engine light is on. It gives the p1200 fault code. I am getting the compression test done tomorrow and also will try to carry out the adaptation with forscan. But do you have any rough idea what it could be or why it doesn't perform the adaptation? The symptoms are rough running up till around 2k rpm and white smoke from the exhaust, that's why I think it has to do with the adaptation. Had the same symptom on a Ford 1.6 tdci, done the adaptation although it was a bit different that this but after it worked. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
I very rarely had to do any fuel related resets, so they are quite resilient on the fuelling side of things. I have done engine rebuilds like you (camshaft, rockers & tappets) but once or twice had injector or pump issues that were there previously but couldn’t really be pinpointed due to so much other stuff being wrong 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ I also advise driving it for a longer distance if possible, the ECU could point you in other directions after a drive cycle 🤔🤔
I totally agree. If they are maintained correctly, do the injector washers ,exhaust camshaft & oil pump timing chain this avoids nearly all the common problems. Thank you man 😉🙏🙏🙏
I’ll always remember the time i took on the repair of an engine on a neoplan coach took me 2 days to get it out done the cylinder head gasket and had too take the next couple of days off due to illness came back and one of the guys had gone ahead and put the camshaft in and (timed) it up put it all ready to refit to the bus I spent another day putting it all back in the thing went to start it and it wouldn’t go for nothin everybody running away from it not wanting hee haw to do with it asked the boy who lined up my timing marks on the cam if it was punting arrow to arrow line to line to which he said i don’t no 😮😮 all back out stripped of rocker cover and boom cam haf a turn out had to strip the whole exhaust brake off turn the cam put it all back together and boy I’m not kidding when I say I almost packed in the trade that day no one wanted nothing to no about it I had to grind on my own and get it done and I never touched one again after it lol 😂😂
Good to see I’m not the only Billy goat this stuff happens to. Well done for getting your one sorted too. What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger or is that only bull 🤔😂😂
Hi Peter first of all thank you for your videos I’m learning a lot from you.. I’ll be taking this engine out of my Mazda 6 (first engine removal) when it stops pissing it down so probably in a few months 😂 My question is do you think I could lift the engine out the top without removing everything from the engine like you have done here, and without removing front end of the car?Obviously I’ll take drive shafts out from gearbox and take the bonnet off. Thank you in advance keep the videos coming 👍
Yes, quite possibly. I just haven’t ever done it that way but surely it is possible. You will need an engine crane though. The very best of luck with it mate 🤞🤞🤞
Amazing work peter 👍🏻 have you got the torque spec for the con rod bearing, oil pump and timing chain installation? Im in the process of rebuilding my engine and cannot find the torque spec anywhere. Many thanks in advance 🙂
Peter, what is your opinion on these skyactive 2.2 diesels... I've just picked up an 18 plate mazda 3 a couple of weeks ago and the amount of stuff I'm seeing in forums about these engines is making me think I should have gone for something else. Did the later engines still suffer from so many timing chain and dpf issues? Would value your opinion since you clearly have a good handle on the units
I they are taken car of correctly I think they are fine. Get the injector washers replaced & use Original mazda ones, this will avoid any oil related issues like this one happening. And clean the intake & egr system at around 100,000 kms. Other than that you should go as far as 200,000 kms easy 🤞👍👍👍 Any other questions just ask 😉😉
@@kennedysgarage3281 thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. What kind of mileage should the injector washers be done? Car is 5 years old, 35k on it. Is it a big job?
I'm a bit sceptical that enough cranks get changed for there to be an 'after market': setting up the forging must cost millions, and having done that right they would surely manage to cut three holes in the right place. More likely it's a reject crank that someone in China snaffled from the bin (rejected before the final machining of that unfinished flange).
I was advised to not get it ground as they don’t work, but I was also advised not to get an aftermarket crank as they aren’t balanced. But silly me went aftermarket anyway, I suppose I was interested to know would it work & though I’d nearly know before I fitted it 😬😬 . It’s all a little bit mad but shore isn’t that part of living in this crazy world 😂😂
Hi Peter. problem the oil has increased. reached level X. There are no error signals. and high fuel consumption: 9l/100 km. car Mazda 6 2.2 diesel 2015. 160,000 km.
The oil level is or does rise due to increased Dpf regeneration frequency. Causing increased fuel consumption and some of that diesel ending up in the oil. This is caused by a mechanical engine failure. Most likely to be the exhaust camshaft being worn & or the intake manifold heavily blocked with carbon. I have videos on both these repairs if needed 😉👍👍
For such a nice looking car. It's a shame it's let down by the troublesome diesel which is after giving Mazda a bad reputation and they were once one of the most reliable brands on the market. Too much goes wrong with the Mazda diesels. But their petrol cars are very good to be fair.
No, not immediately. But I also wouldn’t give it back to a paying customer straight away either. Hence the extended test driving process. And like any large job done on an engine, it can go wrong but hopefully not 🤞🤞 The vehicle has been returned to the owner 4 weeks now & I was speaking to him on Monday with everything going good. He also knows that if anything does go wrong I will be there to sort it for him 🙂
@@kennedysgarage3281 Absolutely. On the upside, since acquiring my Mazda 6 2.2d two years ago, I have become a lot more knowledgeable about mechanics by simply watching countless YT videos. Unfortunately, I do not have the confidence to undertake any major repairs or maintenance jobs, such as the cleaning of the intake manifold. In this respect your contribution has been invaluable. However, an experienced mechanic can make things look deceptively easy. Keep up the good work!
I do a slight bit of gambling on these job. ie I calculate a price from my diagnosis and then no matter what happens I try to keep the price as expected, so the turbo didn’t cost the owner any extra. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I really felt for you on this one mate, I had a similar problem on an LDV Maxus engine I rebuilt for a friend at home in my driveway, the engine had seized on him, so offered to do the work as a favour for him because he could not afford a new van, from the offset, it was a pig of a job, the injectors were seized solid in the engine, took about a week of fettling with them until I managed to get them out, the cam carrier and inlet manifold are an all in 1 piece and matched to the head so did not want to cause any damage when removing the seized injectors, the head could not come off until the injectors were out either, the cheapest thing was to sacrifice the injectors to save the engine!

I’m also with you on the aftermarket part’s you spoke about in another comment, I do prefer OE but it isn’t always possible due to whatever restraints are there.
Well done by the way on the LDV, sounds like a bit of a challenge too 😂😂😂😂

Delighted it worked out in the end for you Peter. Some work but a great job really.
Another one of those challenges Michael 😂😂
They all work out, it depends on how much hardship you have to endure along the way 😉👍👍👍
Always highs and many lows in our trade pete, you stayed at it overcame the problems and got to the end 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 good man

Hello, could you share the torque specs of the main bearing bolts?
Big end bearings torque settings are 30Nm + 90 degrees. Maximum bolt length is 45mm
Amazing work peter 👍🏻 have you got the torque spec for the con rod bearing, oil pump and timing chain installation? Im in the process of rebuilding my engine and cannot find the torque spec anywhere. Many thanks in advance 🙂
Are you in uk
I’m in Waterford, Ireland 😞😞
Are you at these Mazda’s all the time too ??
I’m only seeing this comment now 😞
Did you get the torque settings Michael???
Customer taking a huge gamble with that crankshaft. It simply isn’t worth the risk on an expensive engine overhaul imo.
Nic explain sir 😢
We can only try our best Lovepreet, glad you liked it 🙏🙏
@@kennedysgarage3281 🙂🙂🙏🙏👏
nice job man.
what is the torque for the main bearing & big end bearing?
Offhand I don’t know but if you scroll down, I have mentioned it in the comments before. 😉👍👍👍
@@kennedysgarage3281 will find it
@@aminameen3107 👍👍👍
Peter, what is your opinion on these skyactive 2.2 diesels... I've just picked up an 18 plate mazda 3 a couple of weeks ago and the amount of stuff I'm seeing in forums about these engines is making me think I should have gone for something else. Did the later engines still suffer from so many timing chain and dpf issues? Would value your opinion since you clearly have a good handle on the units
I they are taken car of correctly I think they are fine.
Get the injector washers replaced & use Original mazda ones, this will avoid any oil related issues like this one happening.
And clean the intake & egr system at around 100,000 kms. Other than that you should go as far as 200,000 kms easy 🤞👍👍👍
Any other questions just ask 😉😉
@@kennedysgarage3281 thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. What kind of mileage should the injector washers be done? Car is 5 years old, 35k on it. Is it a big job?
@@maffro20 do them around 50k, it is a handy enough job 😉🙏🙏🙏
@@kennedysgarage3281 good man 👍
@@maffro20 👍🙏🙏
Great job 👏
Hello Peter, I would like to know if I can contact you somehow.
Thank you so much!
Yes, of course. Just google ‘ kennedysgarage.ie’ and you can contact me from our website, thanks Alex
I'm a bit sceptical that enough cranks get changed for there to be an 'after market': setting up the forging must cost millions, and having done that right they would surely manage to cut three holes in the right place. More likely it's a reject crank that someone in China snaffled from the bin (rejected before the final machining of that unfinished flange).
Another commenter did say that & it does sound very logical. I also thought it was stamped very similar to the original 🤔🤔👍
I presume that regrinding the original crank was impossible? Maybe the bearings are only available at standard size?
I was advised to not get it ground as they don’t work, but I was also advised not to get an aftermarket crank as they aren’t balanced. But silly me went aftermarket anyway, I suppose I was interested to know would it work & though I’d nearly know before I fitted it 😬😬 . It’s all a little bit mad but shore isn’t that part of living in this crazy world 😂😂
Hi Peter. problem the oil has increased. reached level X. There are no error signals. and high fuel consumption: 9l/100 km. car Mazda 6 2.2 diesel 2015. 160,000 km.
The oil level is or does rise due to increased Dpf regeneration frequency. Causing increased fuel consumption and some of that diesel ending up in the oil.
This is caused by a mechanical engine failure. Most likely to be the exhaust camshaft being worn & or the intake manifold heavily blocked with carbon. I have videos on both these repairs if needed 😉👍👍
can you write a link please?
and can dpf regeneration help me?

For such a nice looking car. It's a shame it's let down by the troublesome diesel which is after giving Mazda a bad reputation and they were once one of the most reliable brands on the market. Too much goes wrong with the Mazda diesels. But their petrol cars are very good to be fair.
The 2.2 Skyactive can be challenging for the owners alright. There is around 10 very common failure item & they can be expensive 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
OEM EVERYTIME 👍 Years of trial and error wasted time and doing jobs twice means if it's not OEM I no longer bother.
We all learn the hard way, I dont always buy OEM, but I always source good well known brands for parts,
Slowly but surely I’m learning that life lesson 😬😂😂
I put in a laugh emoji but I wasn’t laughing 🙂
That engine is a ticking time bomb. It's had bits of metal circulating throughout. Would you put your family in that car and take a long trip?
No, not immediately. But I also wouldn’t give it back to a paying customer straight away either. Hence the extended test driving process. And like any large job done on an engine, it can go wrong but hopefully not 🤞🤞
The vehicle has been returned to the owner 4 weeks now & I was speaking to him on Monday with everything going good.
He also knows that if anything does go wrong I will be there to sort it for him 🙂
All cars are tough, yes, with the exception maybe of the Mazda NA petrol engine?
The trials & tribulations of the modern motor car 😬😬
All part of the fun Michael 🙂👍👍👍
I have a 1.6 petrol Mazda 3 BK 13 YEARS OLD. 160 thou miles. Just doesn't miss a beat...before that 1.4 Civic 02 200k miles..same.
@@kennedysgarage3281 Absolutely. On the upside, since acquiring my Mazda 6 2.2d two years ago, I have become a lot more knowledgeable about mechanics by simply watching countless YT videos. Unfortunately, I do not have the confidence to undertake any major repairs or maintenance jobs, such as the cleaning of the intake manifold. In this respect your contribution has been invaluable. However, an experienced mechanic can make things look deceptively easy. Keep up the good work!
@@bastogne315 Although I love my Mazda 6 diesel, the next one will be a petrol.
@@michaeldee3380 the petrol are so much nicer, especially the older ones 😉👍👍👍
Character building nightmare!
That is a wise man’s comment 🙏🙏💪
My god that would have been a serious expense for the customer.
I do a slight bit of gambling on these job. ie I calculate a price from my diagnosis and then no matter what happens I try to keep the price as expected, so the turbo didn’t cost the owner any extra. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Really is the car from hell😕
It would have been a lot easier if I got an OE crankshaft 😬😂😂😂
🤕 try and save customers money and it always goes tits up 😅
That is so true, you’d think I’d be after learning by now 🙂
Pure hardship! Sky active are some bag of sh1t.
😂😂😂
I don’t know whether to love them for going wrong or hate them for the grief that the give me 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️. Thanks for watching Sean 🙏🙏
